[cvsnt] Problems with pserver on XP

[Glen Starrett]

Is the CVS Server Service running?  Do you have a firewall installed?  If
the port is blocked, you can't connect.  I believe XPHome tries to install a
firewall by default.  Try "telnet {yourhost} 2401".  If it connects, press
ENTER and you should get this:

>>>>
cvs [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start:


Connection to host lost.
<<<<

If not, then you aren't talking to CVS.
